    The Rock as president.
    That would be amazing

    Actually, I'd pay real money to see that happening.
    Call me a hypocrite, but at least it would be better than seeing a Prez that fills you with the desire to ram sharpened pencils into your eyes and ears so you don't have to see or hear the fcuker.

    The bar has now been set so low you'll see all kind of names being bandied about but so far since Trump there has been a push back on madness- Wilders, le pen, brexit, roy moore

    Then everything went, well, a bit weird really, around 2015.

    I'm still not sure exactly what happened, just that a lot of it did.

    So now we all live in caves.

    - Me 2045.

    Only mentioned Dwayne, as the markets have him at nearly twice the chance as Hilary has for 2020, and just ahead of Bloomberg. The only other non-politco in the top20 is Zuckerberg.

    The Rock was named in Time's 100 most influential list, and was reportedly the highest paid actor during 2016. Saying that, although largely defeated inside a wresting ring, a text book on macro-economics would probably send him to sleep before the 1st bell.

    if they had all boycotted the event, that might have actually had an impact. Imagine if every time a woman won an award, the presenter had to say " ... in absentia" But that would mean not getting your picture in the paper.

    That would have been a brilliant statement. But instead they wore statement dresses and in doing also helped to prop up a rotten fashion industry that exploits young teenagers fresh off the boat from Russia and the like.

    That dress fits her where it hits her!
    God bless her, she has like a 3 year window of opportunity where she can get away with that, she definitely should take it, and fair play to her for standing up to the hypocrites and princesses and paddling her own canoe.

    She most likely just saw an opportunity to get attention for herself and use that to increase the cash value of her brand.

    I question how successful she's likely to be in that endeavor.

    You'd have been less likely to get black-balled in Hollywood by turning up draped in a hammer and sickle flag to a Joe McCarthy senate hearing for the house committee for un-American activities, then you would be turning up to the golden globes in a red dress such is the fever pitch of hysteria and witch hunting.
